Son-in-law's Counterattack

I haven't even passed the fourth floor yet and they already think I won't be able to pass it.    

Ye Zichen clenched his teeth. I don't want to finish the challenge in one go. I have to get past the fourth level at least in order to make some people shut up.    

Just as I was about to enter the pagoda, Faang Jinbao suddenly walked over leisurely with three followers. "Aiyo, I just received news that a certain pretty boy is about to enter the pagoda?"    

"Faang Jinbao, what are you doing here?" Faang Ruolan looked displeased.    

Li Old Woman immediately went forward to welcome him, her smile extremely fawning.    

On the other hand, Faang Jinbao walked in front of Faang Ruolan and me. He stared at me with ridicule in his eyes and mocked, "How can I not come to such a grand matter? In our Fang family, Jia Zhengjing is currently the number one figure who is always the center of attention. "    

Saying that, Faang Jinbao slowly turned his head to the side and winked at Old Woman. No one knew what he was planning.    

Faang Ruolanli ignored him and just whispered in my ear, telling me to enter the tower.    

It was just this one action, but it caused Faang Jinbao's eyes to flicker with a strong jealousy, as if he had been robbed by a knife.    

I ignored Faang Jinbao and followed him to enter the first floor.    

He looked around and found that four candles were lit at the four corners of the first floor, making the space a bit dim.    

And in the center, there was an old man sitting cross-legged. With every breath he took, the four candles would float about. They were truly extraordinary.    

"The challenger, state your name." The old man slightly opened his eyes, and the flames of the four candles almost extinguished.    

I realized that this old man was definitely not simple and immediately followed the rules. I respectfully cupped my hands and said, "Junior Jia Zhengjing."    

"It's you?" You're the man by Faang Ruolan's side? " The old man looked a bit strange, as if he was very famous.    

I nodded and extended my hand. "Senior, please give me instructions on how to pass the first stage."    

"Very simple, judge which candle I want to blow out, divided into the east, south, west and north, and then, before I blow it out, block the passage of inner Qi, extinguish the candle. Of course, I will suppress my inner Qi down to a very low level, and it will not harm anyone, this stage is a test of your prediction ability and reaction speed, it is not easy to say it is not easy, after all, this is only the first stage, but if you can't even pass the first stage, I think you should give up." The old man said.    

I was not discouraged. I took a step forward and stood in front of the old man, expressing my determination.    

The old man looked at me deeply, his lips slightly parted.    

I concentrated on the slight shift in his head, and the moment he exhaled, I sprinted to the candle in the east.    

Instead, he blew out the candle in the west...    

"Wrong judgement. Passing the test failed. Relight the candle. Everyone has three chances to pass the test every day. Do you have two more chances left? Do you want to try again?" The old man smiled.    

"Again!" I took out my lighter, lit the candle, and then went back to the center, feeling a little disgruntled. He had clearly been blowing from the east, but he had tilted his head and then suddenly changed his direction.    

The old man took another breath and stared at me, but he didn't show it.    

I was also staring at him, wondering if the old man would make a fuss and see when he would actually exhale. I turned my head to make a bluff.    

Sure enough, the old man suddenly turned his head around and I stood there in a daze.    

Immediately after, the old man turned his head back, "Aiyo, not bad."    

I was about to reply when the old man blew out the northern candle while I was hesitating to speak.    

F * ck!    

What a scam.    

The cunning old man chuckled, "Aiya, not bad. Not bad, not bad. It's easy to be distracted. Once you light the candle, you will have your last chance today."    

I almost died from anger. I hastily lit up the Northern Candle again and returned it to its original position. "I don't believe that I will be distracted by this again for the last time."    

The old man laughed evilly, "I can definitely do it. Perhaps if I fail today, I can give you some new comprehensions. And as far as I know, with your strength, you can definitely pass through me."    

"Senior, don't waste your time. I'm waiting for you to blow the candle." I'm getting impatient.    

However, the damned old man still refused to boast. He held his hand and laughed, "No rush, first tell me about your situation in the Fang family. There must be a lot of people who look down on you, right? I'm guessing that Faang Ruolan must have let you come here to challenge the tower, right? "    

"So what?" "No," I said.    

If that's the case, then so be it. You have to rush out with some good grades so that others won't laugh at you, and don't make Faang Ruolan lose face. If you can pass all nine floors, then I'm afraid you won't be too far away from the Nascent Realm. The old man chattered endlessly.    

I was distracted and was about to urge him on when I suddenly realized that the candle in the south, a few meters away, had been blown out at some point.    

"This …" I was stunned as I thought to myself that she must have purposely made things difficult for me. With my abilities, how could I not make it through?    

"I'm sorry, but all three chances have failed. You can leave now. Come back tomorrow." The old man laughed again.    

I felt extremely stifled, but failure meant failure. I could only bow my hands humbly as I slowly withdrew from the first level.    

As soon as he stepped outside the tower, the old man used his inner strength to emit a loud sound.    

"Jia Zhengjing, you passed the first level three times and all three times have failed."    

When these words were spoken, the people on the empty ground couldn't help but burst out in laughter, as if they saw the funniest scene in the world.    

"Ha ha-ha ha, you can't even pass the first round."    

"Truly a piece of trash. Truly a piece of trash. I can even pass through, yet he actually can't pass through."    

"I think his Earthly List ranking is fake, right? Could it be that his strength has regressed? "    

"This is really funny. Look at Miss Faang's expression, she can even kill people."    

"..."    

I braced myself and walked in front of Faang Ruolan. She had an ugly expression on her face as she took the opportunity to ask, "What's going on?"    

"The first time, I don't have enough experience. I'll come back tomorrow." I waved my hand, ready to leave.    

However, Faang Jinbao immediately stood in front of me. His chubby face was filled with scorn and mockery as he intentionally sighed and mocked, "What a pity. You can't even pass the first stage. I advise you to give up on your desire to enter the tower as soon as possible. "    

This Faang Jinbao, I think I've never had a conflict with him before. I couldn't help but get more excited after he made things difficult for me time and time again. I said coldly, "I will be back tomorrow, until I break through to the next round."    

"Come back tomorrow? "Alright then, I'll come over every day and watch you make a fool of yourself." Faang Jinbao answered pretentiously.
